He said the district attorney’s office told him a shipping box on the FedEx truck had been opened, the marijuana removed and the box resealed.

“It just calls into question the propriety of dealing with a common carrier, like FedEx, for purposes of delivering evidence,” Gann told 1010 WINS. “Perhaps a better course of action would be to use an employee of the police department or the county.”

It’s the latest fallout from the shutdown of the Nassau crime lab. A national accrediting agency has put it on probation for failing to meet protocols deemed essential to proper handling of evidence. Since its closing in February, evidence has been shipped to a lab in Willow Grove, Pa.

FedEx is looking into the possible theft. The DA’s office says it’s investigating.

Gann said the case which the marijuana was connected to is now “completely unprovable.”

“It raises a broader issue about the credibility of the evidence in those other cases that were being transported along with the marijuana,” he said.

Do you think the police should be using common carriers to transport evidence? Let us know below…

Think about it.
How do we know if it was even in the box when it was shipped????
It couldn’t have been opened and re-sealed while it was in the truck.
FedEx doesn’t pack the boxes. They pick them up sealed, labeled, and ready to transport. It could have been stolen anywhere it was transferred.
“”POTENTIALLY” stolen some of the evidence that was placed FedEx’s custody”
Obviously, a lawyer.

OF COURSE the police should use common carriers to transport such evidence! Then some justice will prevail in these cases which should not be tried. If they were selling cannabis, no crime was committed. The law may have been broken, but no crime was committed.

ya cannabis is horrible it kills 0 people everyear whereas alcohol/tobacco related deaths number in the hundreds of thousands looks like your the ignorant one…. another typical troll with an IQ smaller then their shoe size
